Features

Everything you need.
Nothing you don't.

A focused toolkit for understanding your traffic without the bloat, the cookies, or the privacy headaches.

Cookieless tracking

No cookies, no consent banners, no fingerprinting. We use privacy-safe aggregation so you stay GDPR-compliant by default.

1 KB script

Our tracker is smaller than a favicon. It loads asynchronously and never blocks your page render or hurts your Core Web Vitals.

Real-time data

See visitors the moment they arrive. Events stream live to your dashboard with sub-second latency, no refresh needed.

Custom events

Track what matters to your business — signups, downloads, purchases — with a single line of code. No complex setup.

Privacy dashboard

A public page that shows exactly what you collect and why. Build trust with your visitors by being transparent.

Lightweight API

Pull your data into any tool with a REST API that returns JSON. Webhooks fire on every event for real-time pipelines.

How it works

Up and running in 60 seconds

No SDK installs, no build steps, no cookie banners. Just one script tag and you're live.

01

Add the script

Paste a single line into your site header. The 1 KB script loads asynchronously and starts collecting data immediately — no configuration needed.

02

Customize events

Track custom events with one line of JavaScript. Signups, downloads, purchases — whatever matters to your business, captured automatically.

03

Open your dashboard

Sign in to see real-time traffic, visitor paths, and conversion funnels. Export to CSV or pull data via API into any tool.

Testimonials

Loved by builders who care about speed

"We switched from GA4 to Stride and our Lighthouse performance score jumped from 89 to 100. The dashboard is cleaner, the data is real-time, and we deleted our cookie banner entirely."

Sarah Chen

CTO, Northwind

"The 1 KB script is not a marketing claim — it actually is 1 KB. Our page load times dropped measurably. Setup took literally two minutes."

Marcus Webb

Lead Engineer, Lumen

"Our legal team finally stopped sending emails about analytics. Stride is cookieless and GDPR-compliant by default, which means no more consent banner reviews."

FAQ

Questions, answered

How is Stride different from Google Analytics?
Stride is cookieless and GDPR-compliant by default — no consent banner required. The tracking script is 1 KB (GA4 is ~45 KB), loads asynchronously, and never impacts your Core Web Vitals. You get a cleaner, faster dashboard focused on the metrics that matter, without the overwhelming GA4 interface.
Do I need a cookie consent banner?
No. Because Stride uses no cookies and performs no cross-site tracking, it falls outside the scope of the EU ePrivacy Directive. There is no need for a consent banner on your site. We use privacy-safe aggregation of anonymous page views instead of persistent user identifiers.
Will the tracking script slow down my website?
No. The script is under 1 KB and loads with the defer attribute, so it never blocks page rendering. It is served from a global CDN with edge caching. In Lighthouse tests, sites using Stride consistently score 100 on Performance — compared to 85-90 with GA4.
Can I track custom events like signups and purchases?
Yes. Call stride.track("event_name", { key: "value" }) anywhere in your JavaScript. Custom events appear in your dashboard alongside standard page view metrics, and you can build conversion funnels from any sequence of events.
What happens when I hit my monthly event limit?
On the free plan, tracking pauses and resumes at the start of the next month — you will receive an email notification. On paid plans, we never stop tracking; overages are billed at a transparent per-event rate shown in your dashboard.
Is my data exported or shared with third parties?
Never. Your analytics data is yours alone. We do not sell, share, or use your data for advertising. Stride is a paid product — our revenue comes from subscriptions, not from your data.
